Random Updates

It's the first Monday in May and my life has finally slowed down. Session is over, at least for this year. Our bills have passed, our clients are happy (well the majority of them) and I will no longer be working 12-hr days, Yay! 

Oh, I've finally had time to post a Menu Plan for the week posted at Surviving the Kitchen, I took a two-week hiatus, and hopefully I can stick to it. This weekend I did some deep cleaning around the house and boy does it look 100 times better. You never know how dirty things really are, it's amazing how a little deep cleaning can make things look brand new.Plus, it feels so good to come home to a clean house.

Life is good!

In other news, I looked at houses over the weekend and nothing quite compares to "my house" that was taken from me...(Someone put a bid in about an hour prior to mine, taking my poor little house right out from under me). House hunting is stressful and now that that $8k tax credit is gone, I'm taking it a lot slower. But seriously, all those years of watching House Hunters and all those other home buying shows on HGTV have helped me in the process. And I do know that somewhere out there is a house in my price range with my name on it. :)

Well, now to get caught up on emails and all my blogs waiting for me in Google Reader.

Happy Monday!

Wishful Wednesday!

It's Wishful Wednesday again over at The Seatle Smith's

'I wish' .... I could go back and spend one day working at a job from my youth, and it would be a lifeguard at WildWaters Waterpark!

 I loved that job! It was seriously the coolest job I've every had. I got to ride waterslides and hangout in the sun. After my first year I got to be a RA (ride attendant) I was that gal that sat at the top. You know the one that says, "Lay down, cross your arms & legs, keep you hands & feet inside the flume at all times and GO!" all in one breath! It was the best rotation because you got to slide down the slide to go to the next ride and would have to do ride checks before the park opened. I worked with my best friend and a group of people that I'm still friends with. One of the guys now manages this park. We used to have after-hours guard parties and would goof of and ride down this (see picture) slide by sitting on a food tray-haha, so not safe!

I love waterparks, and working at one was the best experience. I'm a better swimmer because of all the trainning we did, and still CPR/AED certified (I even have my First-Aid hip pack still with the breathing apparatus). I will tell you that because of this, I can beat anyone down those slides you race the other people... the key is to arch your back! :)


What job will you never forget, good or bad, and tell us why! Remember to link up at Kelsey's
